172 in a mk1, Superfatdan's very very long project....

[welshname]

So it's being kept now then???

So it's being kept now then???

I don't know yet. I need to let chip have a look at it first so he can see if he wants to get involved. If not, I'll leave it up for sale, if he decides he fancies a bash at it, I'll delete the for sale ad.

Just a waiting game now.

 

[Scrooge]

I really hope you decide to keep it Dan.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Dan, there really isnt much to look at, its an F4R, it needs to be wired into an aftermarket ecu and to be running, thats about it, its not rocket science, me and Mike do this sort of stuff all the time.

You know what you're doing, I don't. Therefore I will remain sceptical until you've taken delivery of it.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Lol, fair enough mate

 

[Russ_16v]

It will come back working, Dan will think it's a mirage lol

 

[Chip-mk1]

It will come back running, calling it actually "working" at this stage might be a step too far though, he's not got a pedal box in it etc yet, so its not like we can drive it anywhere even if it had an MOT which it doesnt yet etc.

But I think once he hears the thing run, he'll get motivated to crack on, then when he has done some of the other bits we can then map it etc and get it actually working properly and ready to be crashed dramatically on track.

 

[Bluebeard]

ffs.

 

[Russ_16v]

I'v got a few more days off to take, so il happily take a day off to help do the other jobs once Chip has finished mate - you ok to have a day off in the week?

 

[Final Maxim]

swap you for my car and a happy meal

Very kind offer (yet again! lol) but once chips got it running my next priority is to find somewhere to keep it and work on it. I can't do anything until thats covered.

swap you for my car and a happy meal

Yours is white. And you've sat in it. So no Ta.

 

[Jay.S]

Such a great offer.

Shows how good this forum can be.

 

[Tunst]

Iv got a garage you can use haha might be a fair distance away...

 

[Final Maxim]

Yours is white. And you've sat in it. So no Ta.

has back seats though.

and it runs

 

[Chip-mk1]

Sounds good Russ.

Llandow is the target date yeah?

 

[Bluebeard]

FLOL!!!

I think that's a bit optimistic Chip m'boy!

 

[Chip-mk1]

Well engine wise it shouldnt be a drama, but I dont know much about what else it needs.

 

[Russ_16v]

FLOL!!!

I think that's a bit optimistic Chip m'boy!

No, ready easy by LLandow!

Whats left once the engine is wired in? As you have the lorry we don't have to worry about being road legal

If you need somewhere to keep it, I may be able to help

 

[Chip-mk1]

Worth getting it road legal just to make it easier to get it setup etc, cant exactly test the suspension on the driveway etc.

 

[Tony Hunter]

I'll take it, then burn it.

 

[Bluebeard]

Just about to load the patient onto the trolley to take it to the doctor....

Hopefully he won't put it to sleep and he'll revive it!

 

[Zmaster2k]

full o win

 

[Bluebeard]

The red one is full of win. This one is a bus full of fail, filled with fat people that have been eating and drinking fail.

 

[Russ_16v]

You back yet? it's not the easiest of places to find lol

 

[Bluebeard]

I'm supposed to be going at 630 tomorrow morning. But I'm just loading the car on and my winch has decided to pack up. I'm fucked. My car is now outside with no windows, all the crap that was in and on the car is filling up the garage and I'm sat here like a turd with no plan what so ever. f**k me, f**k my life.

 

[.GAZ.]

FLOL!!

Want a deep fried marsbar?

 

[Bluebeard]

I'm speechless. No idea what to do now. The f**king car is also blocking my neighbours driveway.

 

[Russ_16v]

Want me to come help get it on?

 

[Bluebeard]

Unless you have the strength of ten bears, it's not going to happen old boy. My last hope is that my mate with a truck is sober enough to get my voicemail. Just means a 2 hour trip to go and get it.

 

[Russ_16v]

Don't be such a defeatest, we can hook a rope up and tow the fucker on, if you can hold the steering wheel straight then we would get it on

 

[Bluebeard]

I'm on my way to get another truck.

 

[Bluebeard]

Although I do admire your determination!!

 

[Russ_16v]

Id have figured out a way, only 'coz it's you mind x

 

[James23]

I <3 This thread!

 

[Zmaster2k]

full o win

I stand by this statement lol

 

[Bluebeard]

Well after just under 4 hours, a f**k load of swearing, many many phone calls, a bruised hand from hitting my truck with a wheel brace, a long trip to my mates parents house to get his house keys, then back to my mates house to get his truck keys, then swapping all the stuff over from my truck to his, then back to mine to load my car on.....

We got there.

 

[Bluebeard]

Its going well!

I dropped the car off to SJ Motors this morning (As they've very kindly offered their place/ramps/tools) and before i'd even made it back to work I had a text to say I forgot the fuel lines.... FFS!

So Dan (at SJ motors) then text me to say ''Chip says there are no words in the english language that describes your current mental and mechanical ability''

So yeah, they hate me already.

 

[Jamie86]

They obviously know you pretty well

should of just kept that bean!

 

[welshname]

Lol! Well hopefully chip gets it running
